Summary

The Google APIs Discovery Service, announced by the Google Developer Team, is a new API infrastructure designed to streamline the release and maintenance of Google APIs client libraries by providing machine-readable metadata about Google APIs. It offers a directory of supported APIs, discovery documents with JSON Schema-based resource schemas, API methods, OAuth 2.0 scopes, and inline documentation, accessible via a lightweight JSON-based API. This service facilitates the development of tools like IDE plugins and client libraries, and Google has utilized it to create tools such as the Google APIs Explorer and Google Plugin for Eclipse. The service's code for the APIs Explorer has been open-sourced, allowing developers to explore its API and build custom tools. The announcement encourages developers to engage with the service and provides avenues for feedback through a developer forum.
